Rockefeller has gotten a lot closer to the White House than many observers felt was possible when he was nominated to the Vice President's office by Gerald Ford earlier this week. Rockefeller, whose net worth is estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, has been alternately praised and damned as a liberal. His road building feats in the Empire State are well known and the highway projects of the state were labelled- \brilliant\ in some corners while opponents bemoaned the higlrcost. On another front he has been called \soft\ on drugs and at the same time . \inordinately hard\ by others. What it all boils down to is that the almost certain to be confirmed millionaire is a complex man^ y. In the long run this is perhaps what the office of the Vice President has needed. Too long, observers note, has it been filled with simple men faced with a complex job. -. Rockefeller, who has said for a long time that \the Vice President is standby equipment\ and \I don't think I'm cut out to be a Number 2 type of guy\ surprised -many political ob- servers with his ready acceptance of the nations second highest office. Again, he is a complex man. Take for example the fact that, as a. millionaire and the son of a millionaire, he defeated an extremely popular Averill Harriman in 1959 in the gubernatorial race in New York. \Rocky\ proved to be a boisterous candidate, a folksy type of campaigner who could get among the people and make them like him despite his wealth. This is no mean-feat, and even his opponents consider him more than a , seasoned and wise campaigner. But, for all the power and prestige of the Governor's Mansion, in Albany, the man whose very name is synonomous . with wealth has always eyed the White House. Casting about for candidates the'^JOP^Iras^ways-bypassed^him\ when many felt that he would have been the perfect man to oppose Lyndon Johnson in 1964 because of his similar views with the recently assasinated John Kennedy.- In many ways the two were alike.

' StateMandates JtestdctionsOn- Utility Cutoffs ALBANY, N,Y. (AP)-The state has > ordered restrictions on cutting of utility- service, saying the step is necessary to help prevent future tragedies like the death of an elderly Schenectady couple in their cold home last December. The Public Service Commission on Tuesday ordered the seven major electric and gas companies in the state to stop disconnecting serviqe on Friday afternoon or the afternoon before a legal holiday, and during a two-week period including Christmas and New Year's Day. It said it is hard for customers to get the money to pay back bills during those periods, and hard for the utilities to re- connect the service. It also ordered the companies to give each customer an opportunity to designate someone who is to be notified in the event of a disconnection, and to \submit a detailed analysis of the precautibnsit takes in-disconnecting .. service to prevent undue hardship to old or sick persons or those otherwise unable, to take care of their affairs.\ x The PSC began an investigation of the disconnection practices of the utilities after Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baker of Sche- nectady were found dead of exposure in their home last Christmas Eve, a few days after the Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. had cut off service for non- payment of bills. ^ Even before the PSC acted, the con- troversy surrounding the Baker case had led a number of the utilities to in- stitute plans to notify relatives of im- pending cutoffs and other steps to pre- vent such incidents, although none of the utilities adopted plans as extensive as I he one ordered bv the PSC CORRECTION Mrs. Sandra Malette is not the mother of Richard Pierce, who was recently disqualified from the Soap Box Derby in Akron Ohio, as was mistakenly reported in the Observer on Tuesday. ear close to the public ground, they were consistent in their support of liberal legislation and hard line politics. Many also felt he was the ideal candidate' for 1968, but the Nixon machine steam rollered him into oblivion at the convention and the rest of that fateful decision is history today. As the Vice President, Rockefeller is now the number two man in the power structure, the man who will acede to the top spot if anything hamoens to Gerald Ford. The V.P.'s office, however, means a'lot of sitting and waiting if one is to believe the tales of woe spun by others concerning the Vice President's office. \Rocky\ is a mover, this is readily agreed to in all quarters, and therefore, . while he will probably not become the President's hatchet man, on the order of Spiro Agnew, he is likely to become a familiar figure around the world. Particularly since he is more of a world traveller and diplomat than, the domes'tically oriented Gerald Ford. In many respects he may become to Ford what Richard Nixon was to Eisenhower. By most accounts, Nixon was far and away one of themost able Vice Presidents this country has ever seen or experienced and with the Rockefeller need for activity the for- mer governor is likely to become just as important on the international scene to his boss. - , \ At his nomination the ex-governor noted thathe felt good about the future. ,*Tm optimistic about the long ten*' future,\ Rockefeller said. With that, congressional leaders and the Cabinet, assembled for the nationally televised announcement,: applauded' the new vice president-' designate. Ford said he made the choice \after a. great deal of soul-searching,\ after considering the advice of members of Congress and Republican leaders around the country. —^It^wasa^ough^allifoi^^ouglrjobT\ Foresaid.

Rockefeller had twice run for' the White House. His resignation was widely regarded as a move to position himself for a third campaign in 1976. - Before striding from the Oval Office, Rockefeller walked down the line of congressional leaders and Cabinet of- ficers who were present for Ford's announcement, shaking hands and accepting smiling congratulations; The ceremony was brief but carefully orchestrated, Ford entering from a side door to the Oval Office desk he assumed 11 days ago upon the resignation of Richard M. Nixon. It was only last October that Ford himself was nominated for the vice presidency by Nixon, under the 10 un-j tested procedures of the 25th Amend- ment to the Constitution.

Some had speculated that the stature and manner of a Rockefeller might cut into the Ford limelight. But Rockefeller said he came to the job cognizant of the fact that a vice president presides over _the J Senate T andtdoesJwhat,the-Eresident— tells him to do., \I -will, look forward to that op-, portunity of serving him in any way that can be useful to him|\ Rockefeller said.] Rockefeller said he had ho detailed tmdersjajiffin^ith^oxd^ whaThe will be assigned to do as vict .president. -—• - ; \The role of a vice president totally' depends on the Presidents\ Rockefeller, said. \If the President wants to use him, wonderful.

GaiesJiad- Dear People of Massena and local areas, The following letter is a plea for your help! I'm a peace corps volunteer from Massena still in training here in-Quito, Ecuador. During our free time, five other volunteers and myself have been working at a school for \working class boys\. These kids, age from three years to sixteen years old, are the shoe shine boys of the streets. This school was started ten years ago by a Jesuit Priest named John Halligan. Halligan is from the Bronx. He is still here working with the boys and his success with shoe shine boys is known through- out Latin America. This school (CMT) is primarily to feed boys off the streets as well as house orphans. Until last October the school wag housed in an old attic of a local building. Now it has a larger building where primary education classes are held as well as facilities to care for up to-one thousand boys, are- being prepared. The new facilities will \ include shops for the boys to learn a trade. This work has been halted due to a lack of funds. The boys who come to CMT are boys who otherwise would have no ehance to improvetheir'lifestyle'.'These kids have only the clothes that are on their backs and these are solely rags. Some of the boys who don't live at CMT come from one room shacks with no running water, bathroom facilities or heating systems. Sometimes ;as many as thirteen people crowd into these so- called \houses\. Also large numbers of brothers who attend CMT have dif- ferent fathers or mothers or don't even know who their parents are. Some of the stories and backgrounds of these kids would make you sick, it really makes you appreciate some of the simple things of life that we take for granted. The money that takes care of these kids, to give them a chance in life, comes through charity. The funds are used primarily to feed the kids; if they don't have a full stomach it is im- possible to try to reach them for other education. Money is also used for their medical and dental problems. Also any family who seeks medical or dental health will be taken care of. Last month the school underwent some major fund depletions. Two boys underwent major surgery. One boy had been confined to a wheelchair for ten years, now after the operation he is learning to walk again. Another boy who had a cleft lip and palate underwent corrective surgery and is learning to talk all over again. Another problem last month was the death of one of the boys' mother. The boy had only been coming to the center for one week but that didn't matter it is a policy to help the boys families if a death occurs. The problem here is that firs,t_ydu have-to buy back the body ^efor&youcanburyTf.'TjHneT r HaTPgan — sent what was a good share of what was left of the schools funds to this family. Halligan simply stated, \The poor suffer so much in everyday life why should they have to suffer in death too.\ When Halligan brought, the money to the family. He found them in the streets begging for just enough money to get the body back. Stories like this are everyday occurrences around here. ; , The funds for this school are at an all- time low. They don't even know where the money solely for next month's food is coming from. Myself ( and five other peace corps volunteers have decided to try to help raise sothe funds. We all are writing Jo our hometowns hoping you will take up-our-plea- for- help. Father. Halligan has no idea we are doing this, we've been working with a nun here who has been filling us in on the financial problems. Both Father Halligan and the nun receive no salary. The people of Massena and local areas have always come through in the past for various charities and I'm hoping this one won't be any different. This is one true charity where no cream will be taken off the top, it's going directly to feed and clothe these kids. So if various clubs and associations of - Massena such as Lions, Elks, VFW, Shriners, Teachers Association, local businessmen and women's clubs, along with the plants and local unions and individuals, would take up this plea for these kids who have so little, maybe someday they'll amount to something. Possibly a local church group such as League of Sacred Heart or some such organization could set one day aside next week (preferably a pay day) and line up collection sites for donations. If everyone would just give one dollar it would mean so much for these kids. One dollar here is more than most of the kids make for one week's work. After collecting donations if you would make one check payable to John J. Halligan S.J. and send it to me and know it will be well received and greatly appreciated. I just know I can count on the people from home to come through for such an important cause so I'm thanking you ahead of time. Sincerely Cindy N. Sullivan Peace Corps c-o American Embassy Quito, Ecuador 1720, Johann Peter Rockefeller left his home in the German Rhineland and settled \in the then-wilderness\ of New Jersey. He was a man of little wealth and his name meant,nothing, Seven generations later, the Rockefeller name is synonymous with power and wealth, with public service -and-with-phrlanthropyr-The-secorid-son— of that seventh generation, Nelson A. Rockefeller, was named on Tuesday by President Ford as his nominee for vice president. - In a country not given to titles'and /uling class, the Rockefellers have perpetuated a dynasty of great influence on economic affairs and now political life. . Family members are spread through corporate, industrial, banking, real estate and international business-) ventures. The Rockefeller Foundation and other organizations annually dispense millions from family en- dowments and gifts. In the past decade and a half, Rockefellers have found a new_rolein the political arena. _-r_~ It is a dynasty based on wealth, and the origin of that wealth can be dated witlTprecisioh. • \*' On Jan. 10,1870, the Standard Oil Co. was incorporated in Ohio with John Davison Rockefeller as president. He was called a robber baron by many. He gave away $530 million before he died. He was Nelson Rockefeller's grand- father. The early generations of Rockefellers • had survived in America as tradesmen and farmers, neither spectacular successes nor .failures.. The family now dates its history from the birth of John D. Rockefeller in 1839. His father was an itinerant salesman who sometimes used the name \Dr. Rock\ to peddle patent ; medicines. John D. Rockefeller had a knack for } acquiring money and a willingness to giv.e it away. He was imaginative and ruthless in his business dealings, pious and utterly correct in his private life. His attributes have become trademarks , of a family that considers wealth a public trust and waste a sin. Under his direction, Standard Oil acquired control of the oil industry through mergers, favorable railroad rates, rebates and other practices, many now illegal. By 1885, the company controlled 95 per cent of the nation's oil refining capacity. At the turn of the century, John D. Rockefeller's annual income was estimated at $50 million. He was called the richest man in the world. The break-up of Standard Oil in 1911 under new federal antitrust laws had little effect on the family fortune. John D. Rockefeller had retired from active business life. His most trusted adviser, a Baptist warned him, \Unless you distribute your vast fortune quicker than it grows, it will, crush not only you and your children, but your children's children.\. With the aid of his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr., the senior \Rockefeller spent the rest of his life giving away money and polishing his public image. He died in 1937, three months short of his . 97th birthday. - : John D. Rockefeller Jr. spent his life in the shadow of the family fortune. He, was a shy, retiring man with little taste { for the world of business and finance. He seemed , almost apologetic about the family's wealth and spent most of his life giving part of it away. In 1913, he organized the Rockefeller Foundation. By the time he died in 1960, the foundation and other family-funded agencies had given an estimated $2.5 billion to education, medical research and other social and charitable causes! * Despite such philanthropy, the children of John Jr. inherited con- siderable fortunes. A daughter and five sons, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller in- .. cluded^seemed -to wear- their millions more comfortably. While their father was content with the quiet bankrolling of philanthropy, they have acquired a taste for active control and public leadership. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, .68, eldest of f* the brothers, has been a leader in efforts to assess and deal with world population problems as founder and chairman of, the Population.Council. Nelson Rockefeller, 66, spent much of his life in government service and politics. The third son, Laurence Rockefeller, 65, has combined an interest in con- servation with business as developer of resort hotels in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and elsewhere! Like the others of his generation, he has been willing to use the family Wealth and influence in matters that concern him, such as en vironmental quality. K Winthrop Rockefeller, who died in 1973, displayed another trait of this / * Rockefeller generation, a willingness to move outside the family base in New York. He was twice elected governor of Arkansas after serving eight years as chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. Youngest of the five brothers is David Rockefeller, 59, board chairman and chief executive officer of Chase Manhattan Bank, third largest in-the country. He has gained a worldwide reputation as a powerful spokesman for the banking and business community. A fourth generation of the dynasty now waits in the wings. There are more than a score of them, the children of Nelson Rockefeller and his generation, i> and they are already active in the arts, sciences, politics and the family's business and financial enterprises.
